Hi there,

my course has a transparent action button.

 ![transparent action button](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex031/uploads/evolveauthoring/original/1X/8dda2dc4c12d02f45b0e46d3cdf120d9c8b3cb06.png)

The editor says it’s possible to change the style of transparent buttons - but I just can’t find the set-up for transparent buttons in the theme.  
Can someone help me out?

Thanks!

Hi id3!

So when you go to your Theme settings \> Buttons, there is a section for Action buttons in there…

 ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex031/uploads/evolveauthoring/original/1X/bf56a53cf1b1788a075a12714fafc714431fccef.png)

What is it you want to change on the transparent button?

Hello hmaffin,

thanks for the screenshot, I found the section for Action Buttons. I was a bit confused just where to set up transparent buttons - the Button section mentions Submit buttons, Feedback buttons and even Warning buttons, but no separate Transparent buttons.  
I wanted to set up a border for my transparent buttons to make them a bit more noticeable.

I would suggest to just use a different article style and style the warning, action or submit button the way you want it to look.

Hi,

that’s the workaround I’m using right now, but still - it’d be nice to be able to style the transparent button without using a separate article style.
